What I did today 2022

[Bren In Pots]

Potted on nasturtiums, planted out what were last year's strawberry runners.
Sown last chitted peas into guttering.

[ameno]

Trimmed up and tied in the loganberry stems.
Pruned the rambling rose and buddleia.
Started on pruning the big cherry tree (done about three-quarters).

[Mr Bones]

Planted out 140 Golden Bear onions and a 60 cell tray of multi-sown beetroot, also pricked out a 60 cell tray of celeriac.

[Bren In Pots]

Potted up 3 types of lettuce and moved them to the cold frame, along with sweet peas, radishes and spring onions.

Looking good there MrB

I'm just chitting my peas so yesterday I filled guttering ready for my pea to go in.

Just checked and some ready to sow. I'll do those this morning.

[Mr Bones]

Pulled the last of the black kale from the brassica cage, topped the beds with compost and planted out peas grown in guttering.

I was fast enough to catch a pheasant for the pot. My plot is less than a mile from an official shoot so we do get a bit of overspill some times.
Being told that it is not allowed indoors until it is plucked is the norm.

What I am doing today (this is live from my allotment...)
spuds planted.
one bed I planned to put them in was a bit of a mess, as it had veg (carrots and leeks) I harvested in stages, so it never got stripped out. Girded my loins to clear it, then re-checked my notes. Can't put them in, there were spuds in there last year. So switched to a cleared bed.

next job is to put the bean frame up. Hmmm, planned bean bed is now full of spuds... so I need to put the bean frame up in the bed the spuds were going to be in...

yup, the one that was a mess. Hey ho... didn't need to clear the potato bed, just had to clear the same bed re-listed as a bean bed...

nice day for it though.

[ameno]

Sowed some radish seeds.
Finished mulching my fruit bushes and trees.
Another plot holder who lives just next door to the allotments offered me half a dumpy bag of wood chip and a bin half full of chicken poo, so I dragged them both down to my plot and mixed the chicken manure in with the wood chip. By next year it should be a decent mulch for my fruit bushes and such.
Also started on digging another one of the beds, but didn't get very far.

[Bren In Pots]

Potted on tomatoes, planted module sown lettuce into troughs. Started chatting parsnips in take out boxes.

[quanglewangle]

Reinstalled the automatic vent opener in the greenhouse. Summer is coming!

[ameno]

Planted my early and second early potatoes at the allotment.
Finished sieving out all of the soil from the old compost (dumping) bins.

[Nikkinak]

Sowed some seeds and planted up some plug plants that I ordered a while back. Such a beautiful day. And got my first frog this year in the pond

OH laid a few slabs and connected a splitter to the down pipe on the back of baby barn - so now I have a water butt next to the greenhouse! Though - with the amount of water today - it was full in less than 30mins and spilling excess all over the ground - need to dig some sort of soakaway I guess (too close to next door to let it run off)

[ameno]

Bit drizzly today, so I didn't go to the allotment. Instead I did some jobs at home.
I potted up some pre-sprouted pepper and cape gooseberry seeds.
I mulched most of my garden fruit with compost.
And I pruned the Japanese quince and the two big roses.
